Summary: My Life was Saved
Review: During Family week at the BFC I sat in a lecture conducted by Dr. West. It was during this informal lecture that I came to the reality that I was an alcholic and was just as sick, if not more, than the family member I was there for. The main item in the "Book of Answers" that made me realize this, among other things, is listed on pages 20-21. I failed this test miserably.
I've been clean and sober for 6 years. BFC and Dr. West literally "SAVED MY LIFE". I only pray that many other lives as well as relationships can be saved by simply reading this "Book of Answers". Thank You Dr. West

Summary: Question / Answers from the Doctor
Review: I purchased this book because I can count sereral people I know that have had a loved one or friend that that has an drinking/substance abuse problem...and this book was to better help me understand what not only myself, but others can do when they are in this situation. You can read this book in one sitting since it if very short, but informational. If you are looking somewhere to start, this is a perfect book! I had never even knew there were such support groups such as Al-Anon & Nar-Anon, which are support groups for the loved ones of substance abusers. So if you want to help and do not know where to start, pick up this book!
